context_page_description: Lord Methven was a title in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created on 17 July 1528 by King James V of Scotland for his stepfather Henry Stewart. The title became extinct on the death of the grantee's grandson in the 1580s. The title takes its name from Methven in Perthshire.
context_section_description: Henry Stewart was born around 1497, a younger son of the Lord Avondale. He became the lover and eventual husband of Queen Margaret Tudor. When the Queen's son assumed power he granted his mother and stepfather Methven Castle and raised him to the peerage. After the Queen's death in 1541 Lord Methven married Janet, widow of the Master of Sutherland (and mother of the 11th Earl) and daughter of John Stewart, 2nd Earl of Atholl. They were the parents of the second Lord Methven and of Dorothea Stewart, who married William Ruthven. Lady Methven later married her son-in-law's father Patrick Ruthven, 3rd Lord Ruthven.
